Waves

I am overwhelmed
by the sense that
I'm falling apart
Gradually disintegrating
Eroding away
Piece by piece
Dissolving into nothingness

Daily I must remind myself
that this is a lie
I am chosen
by the one on high
And He will not let me fall
However low I seem to go

So I cling to this truth
like a drowing man
Unwilling to concede
to the raging waves
Choking; coughing
But intent on survival
Hungry for life

My only fear
that one day I will discover
that I have been flailing
in a shallow puddle
